Turkey Veggie And Rice soup

I don’t know about you but I have a fridge full of leftovers! I don’t have hungry teenagers anymore to clean me out! so, having one more day off, I decided to throw a pot of soup on. Here’s how I did it:

Ingredients:

1 onion diced

1-2 stalks of celery diced

1-2 carrots diced

1 tbsp olive oil

4 cups of leftover turkey chopped

8 cups of chicken broth

8-10 cups of water

4 cups of veggies (any that you like, I used broccoli, cauli, beans)

1 can black beans

salt,pepper,thyme

Directions:

Sautee the onion,celery and carrot in the olive oil till translucent.

add in the turkey then the broth and water.

bring to a boil and simmer for 30-45 minutes. Add in the veggies, boil up again till veggies are tender.

Add in the black beans or white kidney beans. simmer again for a bit.

Add your spices to your taste, I like heaping teaspoons of spices, less salt and I like a little dab of hot sauce just for a bit of a kick! You do what you’d like!

when the soup is just right in flavour, just off the heat, stir in the rice, put a lid on it and let sit on the stove for half an hour!
